The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday issued notices to the Interior Ministry, and sought a reply in a case of provision of security to former prime minister Imran Khan.
IHC Chief Justice Aamir Farooq heard an application of Imran Khan regarding provision of security following allegedly threatening statements made by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.
“Is Imran Khan not getting security as a former prime minister?” the chief justice questioned.
Khan’s lawyer told the court that security had been withdrawn from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief.
“What are the standard operating procedures (SOPs) regarding provision of security to someone in case of threats to their life?” the IHC chief justice asked.
